Battle of Bakhmut - update

Russia’s prospects of even this seems remote as winter sets in.

The Bakhmut operation is a lie according to Forbes. "The overall narrative the Kremlin hopes to create is that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, its forces still can win in Ukraine. And the forces contributing to the Bakhmut attack—in particular, the separatists and Wagner—all are trying to take credit for the fictional wins." While their comrades retreated or dug in, the Russian and allied troops around Bakhmut kept trying to advance. Losses are huge. Last week, the Russians claimed they’d captured several settlements around Bakhmut. Ukraine denied it. Russians are losing strength and they are willing to spend all to achieve a symbolic victory rather than an actual military one of value.

"Ukrainians are guys with the same iron balls as we are,” Prigozhin wrote.

Reports on social media and in Russian state media say Wagner mercenaries are on the outskirts of Bakhmut, in Ivangrad. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin has acknowledged that resistance from Ukraine around Bakhmut is stiff. “The situation near Bakhmut is stably difficult, the Ukrainian troops are putting up decent resistance and the legend of the fleeing Ukrainians is just a legend.

Cop's Ponzi scheme lassos 40 other cops - dead

Larry Renton, who was a detective-sergeant when he retired in 2016, died at his home on Sunday. He was 58.

Ponzi schemer Det. Sgt. Larry Renton operated his investment scheme out of his West Region Ontario Provincial Police office in the town of Simcoe, then continued from home after he retired. He promised investors staggering returns and suckered dozens of OPP and municipal officers. An estimated 40 officers of all ranks and an unknown number of civilians lost between $15m to $20m.

Renton retired at age 52.

Renton was not registered with the province of Ontario as a financial adviser or investment dealer. In his emails to investors, many of them police, he routinely reminded them that for every big investor they brought him, he would provide a 5% fee.

Trump slags judge - called out as fraudster

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump ·3h Who’s this Clinton appointed “Judge,” David Carter, who keeps saying, and sending to all, very nasty, wrong, and ill informed statements about me on rulings, or a case (whatever!), currently going on in California, that I know nothing about - nor am I represented. With that being said, please explain to this partisan hack that the Presidential Election of 2020 was Rigged and Stolen. Also, he shouldn’t be making statements about me until he understands the facts, which he doesn’t! 3,465 11,509 Oct 20, 2022, 07:05

Trump lashed out after a federal judge wrote that he knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud while he was fighting his 2020 election loss. Judge Carter ordered John Eastman, a pro-Trump attorney who tried to challenge Biden’s win, to turn over dozens of documents to the committee investigating the Capitol riot.

Among those 33 documents were emails that “demonstrate an effort by President Trump and his attorneys to press false claims in federal court for the purpose of delaying the January 6 vote,” Carter wrote. Trump signed a verification, under oath, in Dec 2020, which claimed that in Fulton County, Georgia, over 15,000 voters were improperly counted because they were cast by dead people, felons or unregistered voters. The problem for Trump is that is a lie. “The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public,” the judge wrote.

Kakhovka Dam - false flag attack

Zelenskyy says Moscow is preparing to blast the Kakhovka Dam, unleashing a disaster. “We have intelligence that Russian terrorists have mined the dam and HEPP turbines,” said Zelenskyy. “The dam holds back around 18 million cubic meters of water. If Russia blows it up, over 80 settlements – including Kherson – will be in the flash flood risk zone.”

"Hundreds of thousands of people are at risk."

“Russia is doing all this to carry out another false flag attack, intending to blame Ukraine for it,” Zelenskyy said. “We know this territory is under Russian control, and we know what Russians are capable of. They will stop at nothing. Together, we have to stop them.”

’Ndrangheta boss Ursino Giuseppe - parole denied

Giuseppe (Pino) Ursino

Grandfather and convicted mob boss Giuseppe 'Pino' Ursino has been denied parole after showing no remorse. His case marked the first time in Canada that the ’Ndrangheta was targeted as an organized crime group. Star crown witness against Ursino was police agent Carmine Guido, a former gangster who testified that Ursino was a boss who sat on the group’s “Camera Di Controllo,” or board of control. Ursino’s trial heard more than 40 secretly recorded conversations involving Guido. The word “respect” came up 33 times.

Ursino was a senior member of the board of directors of the ’Ndrangheta, the “Camera Di Controllo.”

Senior underworld boss Giuseppe (Pino) Ursino, 68 has lost his appeal for parole. The decision by the parole board’s appeal division came after Ursino argued COVID made him fear for his health. He refused the COVID vaccine when it was offered to him. His explanation was that he didn't know enough English. That didn't fly with the parole board. Ursino was sentenced to 11½ years in prison in Feb 2019 for conspiring to traffic cocaine and other charges, including gangsterism. In his trial, Ursino dismissed the secret police recordings used to nail him. “The stupid words come out of my mouth,” Ursino testified. “What I’m talking is one thing. What I mean is another.”

ex-Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum

Former mayor of Surrey Doug McCallum returned his city provided vehicle without bothering to repair his collision damage. A final FU to Surrey taxpayers. McCallum drove the city-owned $47k Buick Envision before losing Saturday’s election. He also had a $15k vehicle allowance. Running under the slogan “Doug Gets it Done,” McCallum faces a looming trial for public mischief with the City picking up his legal bills, even though he was on personal business buying groceries.

He has attacked "Keep the RCMP in Surrey" repeatedly, even banning the group from civic meetings with a court order.

Friendly fire in Belgorod - Lt Col. Lapin killed by Muslim Tajiks

"Tajiks told Lapin that a holy war is a war between Muslims and infidels. Lapin said that "Allah must be a coward if he doesn't allow you to fight for the country you swore an oath to." The "terrorist" attack on a Russian military training ground in the Belgorod region bordering Ukraine left at least 11 dead and 15 wounded. Lapin was first reported as the son of commander Leksandr Pavlovich Lapin. This is not correct. The dead man is Lt Col. Andrey Lapin. 138th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, 6th Combined Arms Army, Western Military District.

Aftermath of the friendly fire incident in Belgorod - Lt Col. Lapin, reportedly mocked the religion of the Muslim non-Russian conscripts training on the range. https://topcargo200.com/475/ A video of Tajik President Emomali Rahmon complaining to Putin about his lack of respect went viral days ago.

Sunni Islam is, by far, the dominant religion in Tajikistan. After 70 years of political control, Soviets have been unable to eradicate Islam.

Noel Harder - HA Rat dead

Noel Patrick Harder died of health complications earlier this month. He was 43.

Noel Harder decided to become a secret police agent after he got busted. He then spent three years testifying as a star witness against fellow drug dealers, gun runners, mobsters and the Hells Angels. At one point it was said a six figure bounty was on his head. The RCMP kicked Harder out of the federal Witness Protection Program for violations.

Harder was one of the highest level criminals in Saskatoon, and was described as a narcissist and sociopath.

Harder's work as a police agent began after he was pulled over while transporting dozens of guns. At the time, Harder was a senior member of the Fallen Saints Motorcycle Club, a puppet club of the HA. On Jan. 14, 2014 a joint RCMP-Saskatoon police operation raided 19 locations in seven cities. $8m worth of methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl were seized. More than a dozen members of the Fallen Saints and Hells Angels were charged with a variety of offences. Everyone was busted except Harder. Harder was a poor choice as a police agent and witness. "The biggest drug dealer involved was Noel Harder, and they let him go … he should have been the guy charged". Instead Harder was paid $500k. Harder blamed the RCMP for his many troubles. He met CBC News in a secret location for an exclusive interview about Project Forseti. "If somebody was coming to kill me," Harder said, "I’m going to be taking them with me, if not first."

HA Jason Arkinstall jailbound = 10 years

The sentencing of notorious HA Jason Arkinstall is over and the “extremely remorseful” veteran gangster is going away for a decade.

Jason Arkinstall was scheduled to be sentenced May 20 in Surrey. The high profile Mission HA was busted with Lawrence Edward Dwyer near Creston in October 2020 and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and drug smuggling. The two ran back into Canada after being spotted in Idaho with five duffel bags of cocaine and meth worth more than US $2m. The two rabbits fled to Canada, leaving the dope in the U.S.

38kg of cocaine and 90kg of meth was seized.

Arkinstall was acquitted in Calgary in 2011 of uttering threats against cops. The judge said Arkinstall was 'physically abused.'

Orcs strike civilians - malice and cruelty

Ukraine’s defense minister said an IRIS-T air defense system from Germany and four additional HIMARS launchers from the US arrived. The IRIS-T is the first of four that Germany is sending. NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg said the “malice and cruelty” of Russia has resulted in 50 nations pledging support, including Canada. Russia fired 83 missiles at civilians, killing at least 70. 43 missles were shot down. There is no "practical military sense" in the strikes. Targets included Shevchenko Park, near a children's playground.

Germany announced today its sending it's air defense system to Ukraine. On Sept 25, Ukraine received the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) from the US. Ukraine has again called for free nations to provide air defense systems. Biden spoke with Zelensky and pledged continued US security assistance “including advanced air defense systems.”

Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant on auxiliary power AGAIN

Russian missile attacks caused the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to lose all external power for the second time in five days. Energoatom said diesel generators were supplying the plant but Russian troops blocked a convoy carrying additional fuel. The weaponization of civil nuclear plants makes for an unstable world.

Deputy head of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, Valeriy Martynyuk, has been kidnapped by Russian forces and is being detained in an unknown location, Ukraine's state nuclear energy company Energoatom said.

Energoatom called on IAEA chief Rafael Grossi to help free Martynyuk. Grossi met with Putin today.

Zaporizhzhia city remains under Ukrainian control.

External power to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant was restored. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant lost its last external power source as a result of artillery and is relying on emergency diesel generators. The plant’s link to a 750-kilovolt line was cut at 1am Saturday. All six reactors at Europe’s biggest nuclear plant are shut down but still require electricity for cooling and safety functions. Each generator has fuel for 10 days. If the cooling system fails, it could lead to an uncontrolled heat build-up, a meltdown, and a fire that would release and spread “catastrophic” radiation across Europe. The facility has been under Russian control for months. Putin has designated the plant "federal property."
